Sometimes, veins on the back of the hand bulge out prominently. This phenomenon occurs due to a condition called dorsal hand varicosity. What are the causes of dorsal hand varicosity, and how can it be prevented?

If the veins on the back of the hand become prominent, it may be a sign that blood circulation is not functioning well. When blood circulation is poor, blood tends to pool in the fingertips. As a result, when the veins on the back of the hand are filled with blood, they may appear to protrude outward. This can also be accompanied by a tingling sensation in the hands. It is often observed in people whose hand skin has become thinner due to aging or weight loss, as thinner skin makes the veins more likely to become visible.

These dorsal hand varicose veins do not cause health problems. However, if the veins protrude severely and cause stress, surgery can be considered. This involves making a small incision on the protruding area and removing the veins around the blood vessels. Additionally, treatments such as sclerotherapy, which involves injecting medication into the veins to shrink them, or procedures using high-frequency waves or lasers, can be performed. However, it should be noted that small scars may remain after surgery.

 

Prevention is always the best. To prevent dorsal hand varicose veins, blood should not pool in the hands. ▲Stretching by raising the arm above the heart ▲Regularly massaging from the fingertips, over the back of the hand, towards the armpit to help drain blood is recommended.

 

Meanwhile, varicose veins in the legs, which cause similar symptoms, must be treated with surgery. Varicose veins occur when the venous valves do not close properly, causing blood that should go to the heart to flow backward. Since this negatively impacts health, it must be treated at a hospital. To prevent varicose veins, avoid wearing tight clothing and shoes around the knees, and opt for shoes that allow easy ankle movement. It is also important to develop a habit of moving your legs frequently. Avoid standing or sitting for long periods, and regularly do stretching exercises to promote smooth blood circulation.
